Douglas Jardine

Douglas Jardine was England cricket captain in fifteen Test matches of which nine were won, five were drawn and one lost. Most contemporary opinion was that his tenure of office was too short to permit an objective analysis of his skills as captain. After England's tour of India in 1933/34 Jardine retired from cricket and pursued a business career that was largely unfulfilling. He died in 1958 aged 57. Jardine's daughter Fianach is a priest in the Scottish Episcopal Church.
